What to say when people ask you your weight

For me I don't mind, I've lost a decent amount of weight now and putting it in context for people usually makes them more impressed. Usually when I tell people my current weight they think I must weigh less than that because I look (deceptively) slimmer. It's pretty flattering actually.

I do the same thing actually.

At a birthday party I had to tell someone my weight to get them to back off the your need to bring this home. No one wanted the leftover cake and because my mom and I with 4 kids were headed home they though we should have it.
I asked her, " So even at your heaviest did you weight 200lbs? No. I did just 2 months ago. We don't want it."
She was adamant about us taking the left overs. She just looked at me and said," I had no idea." Well no she does. And I don't think she will forget because I turned the "Question" on her and like everyone knows it is a very hard thing to say I weight X lbs.

Well, depend on the situation. Not everyone asking is meant to be rude. If they asked me I'd tell my weight. If they made fun of that, they'd usually expect a nice good punch in their face lol... Asking for the weight is like asking for your age nowdays, it is not good to ask it in not a proper situation.

I guess it would depend on who was asking and how. I don't think anyone has ever asked me except in the context of a conversation about weight loss or something. And even then I can only think of once where someone has asked. I mean it's no secret how overweight I am, I don't feel like someone is going to suddenly think I'm fat when they didn't before. Though I admit that if someone asked in what I felt was a rude way I'd be tempted to let my smart-*kitten* side out and answer something like "oh, 115, but someday I'll get back down to 100!"

Pretty much this... It comes up in convo with those I discuss my journey with, (my face book friends for sure). But if the Q comes at me in a rude or judgmental way my sarcastic ways come in play

My sister-in-law was asked that question at a family reunion by someone she had not see for years. It went like this, " Man you got fat, how much do you weigh now?, and she said, Yeah, well I can lose weight ,but you'll always be ugly! " I love her so much!!!

When your weight is part of your job it's not really a secret, although then you do have to deal with some REALLY rude comments! When I'm talking to people about how much I've been working at getting back in shape, it comes up and people NEVER believe I weigh as much as I do, I actually had a medic make me get on a scale because he thought I was lying. But I don't mind telling them, because to me, it's always better than what it used to be, and that makes me proud of what I have accomplished! All totalled from my absolute heaviest weight I'm down 50 lbs, and I just remind myself that when I get discouraged.

However at my lightest weight (15 lbs down from where I am now) I did have someone tell me I needed to lose 20 lbs. I was PISSED OFF, but I'm in the military, where physical fitness is part of my job description, and I just had to remind myself that he was probably looking out for me and trying to help me really reach that next level. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and ask yourself WHY are they asking about it?

I'd just say what I weigh, as I've never really seen the big deal with it - although it entirely depends on the situation.

Someone commenting on your size in a not so positive way, and including "what do you weigh" alongside, I think that's very rude, just as anybody who judges you on your answer is being insensitive and rude.
However, if a friend or even acquaintance asked, after I was mentioning losing weight or something similar (fitness, working out), I would not think anything wrong with that whatsoever. I have spoken to a couple of guys at the gym before about future strength goals / powerlifting etc and been asked what I weighed. I just told them. I've also had friends ask what I weigh, when I've mentioned MFP or losing weight recently.

I'm not sensitive at all about how much I weigh, I'm completely honest about it. I stepped on a scale and posted the picture to Facebook before I started my journey. It has been holding me accountable ever since. Every 20 pounds I'll post a new one, too.

I'm Alicia and I weigh 181.2 pounds today.

I suppose context is a huge factor here, but truly, unless someone is just being ugly by asking, why not just answer the question?

I really don't mind. I'd just tell them x

For me it depends on who is asking. I've had a conversation about how much I've lost and how much I now weigh with my aunt and it was no problem. However, I feel uncomfortable when it's someone whom I don't know very well and haven't seen in a while. I'm proud of how much I've lost and I'm no longer embarrassed about my weight, but for some reason, and I don't really know why, I feel like it is none of their business.

I tell them the truth, how much I weigh. Its not a secret that Im overweight. They have eyes, they can see it.

I agree with some of the replies here...it really depends on the people and how the question was introduced into the conversation. If it's a circle of friends discussing health and fitness and such, then I think it's fine. However, if someone randomly throws the question out there to you out of topic, then I can only assume it's for vanity reasons and it really is none of their personal concern. I would prefer not to share my weight with those individuals.

I don't understand why you feel the question is rude. Whenever someone asks me that I just tell them. It's no big deal.
